KIPP Jacksonville K-12 has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (90.83%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 3.44% to 86.49% African American. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, with 53.7% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, much higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 12.3% to 76.6%. Academically, KIPP Jacksonville K-12 consistently underperforms the Duval district and state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46% in Duval and 53% statewide.

The data suggests that KIPP Jacksonville K-12 is struggling to meet the academic needs of its predominantly African American, low-income student population. The school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (79.75%), significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 0.39% to 86.24%. Additionally, KIPP Jacksonville K-12 had a relatively low spending per student of $6,599 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the surrounding schools, which ranged from $7,958 to $48,243 per student. The school's performance is also significantly worse than the nearby Jacksonville Classical Academy and Cornerstone Classical Academy, suggesting that the charter school model alone does not guarantee better outcomes for students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
